Nine Star Burden

n his team and had another agenda of winning himself some pride and glory after attaining first place and advancing to the School Tyrant in Year Three.

If it were a full-blown battle, Jiang Xiao would never be able to rival Han Jiangxue even if there were ten of him.

There was already a difference in their abilities and there was no way they could battle each other at all, especially since their circumstances and roles were different.

However, since there was already an exchange of information and there was a clear issue in Han Jiangxue’s team, there was some hope for Jiang Xiao’s team.

Regardless, Jiang Xiao had to exhibit his value.

Putting aside Star Techniques, Jiang Xiao felt that the Year Three students could not compare to the Zhu brothers in terms of martial arts.

Of course, the Year Three students had been practicing for two more years compared to them.
Even if they had already exchanged information with Han Jiangxue beforehand, an arduous battle would be inevitable.

While anxiously preparing for the battle, Jiang Xiao received an interesting piece of news before the competition even began.

In the past two days, a major piece of news had been published in Beijiang Province and even made it to the real-time hot search column of Weibo.
A White Ghoul Witch’s baby had suddenly appeared in Ruifeng Business Firm…

Of course, everyone coveted it and the prices rose madly.
Until this morning, someone had already offered a price as high as 400,000 yuan, which really shocked Jiang Xiao.

A White Ghoul’s cub was worth only a few thousand and was rather priceless.

Yet, the price of the White Ghoul Witch’s baby soared like a rocket.
It was simply incredible.

At this stage of high school, Jiang Xiao rarely saw any students who owned Star Pets.

On one hand, the children were still lost in the Basic Techniques and were not strong enough to acquire Star Pets.

On the other hand, the most important reason was that Star Pets were absolutely rare and acquiring them would be extremely difficult.

Acquiring a Star Pet and keeping a living creature of another dimension in one’s Star Map was a very difficult task.
Without enough abilities, it would be impossible to accomplish.

There were strict requirements for a Star Pet to be embedded in the Star Map too.
It was a hundred times tougher to acquire a Star Pet than to absorb Star Beads to obtain Star Techniques.

Everyone knew that only the offspring of creatures of other dimensions could qualify to become Star Pets.

It seemed to be a customary requirement.
No one was 100% sure that adult creatures of other dimensions could not be acquired as Star Pets, but no one had succeeded in doing so.

The lucky ones who had acquired Star Pets had all obtained the offspring.

A premium-grade Star Pet could change an Awakened drastically and increase his abilities, mainly the quality of his attributes.

Firstly, Star Pets could be carried around easily, for they could all be kept in the Star Map, be it an offspring or a Star Pet that was slowly growing into an adult.

It sounded incredible, but that was indeed the case.

Even a majestic and large creature could be embedded in one’s star slot, so long as it was tamed and trained from a young age.
It could still be drawn into one’s body regardless of its size and mass.

That was a concrete truth that made others respect the mystique of the Star Map even more.

Although everyone had their own Star Maps, there was a heterodimensional attribute of the Star Maps of all Awakened, regardless of their profession, be it a warrior or a mage.
That was also a field that the Awakened were actively trying to research about.

Otherwise, where would such a huge Star Pet go?

How did it go in and out of one’s body so casually?

Hmm…

The Star Pets could be brought around easily and could also support its owner.

It was just like a resource pool.
This reminded Jiang Xiao of a comic about a migrant worker.

A nine-tailed fire fox was sealed in the body of a blonde-haired teenager, who then acquired endless energy since then.

The idea was similar.

When one had exhausted his Star Power, his Star Pets could provide sufficient support.

That was the second benefit.

The third benefit was that Star Pets came with their own Star Techniques.
If properly trained and domesticated, the Star Pet could become a strong and loyal teammate.
